There is a company called IPT (Information Presentation
Technologies) that markets a whole range of UnixBox to Mac
communication. This includes using the box as a file server,
printer, and even Mac Mail. I refer you to MacWorld or MacUser.
Apparently it works quite well on a Sun. Not so hot on other boxes.
It comes in an ehternet version, which requires an etherneted Mac. Or
you can get a card to bung in the back of a sun that will connect it
to the Appletalk network.
This product has an advantage over KIP/CAP, it works. At least
as far as the Gatorbox is concerned. The Gatorbox will not give you
what you want, I know because we tried one. If you want to invest in
a Kinetics box, you may get what you want.
